OK, so here is the scoop...The insurance companies don't pay the doctors well enough, but require tons of paperwork and crap. So they have to make their money somehow.
$15 isn't that out of line, if he can afford it, just pay it.
Either that, or the doc is going to order a bunch of tests...just to be safe, you understand. Wink wink.
My Dad had three things done during his (free) physical that triggered a
typical office-visit co-pay...
... the referral for ulrasound
... TALKING to Dad about his high blood pressure measurement made during
... the visit... a diagnosis, regardless of it being a previously known condition
... change in BP med (having to call it in to the pharmacy)
But there is only space for one (1) "extras" code and the referral was the
one coded.
It boils down to this: ANYTHING - and I mean ANYTHING - above and beyond
the laying-on of hands during a (free) physical can trigger the office visit
co-pay.
I made the observation that we were NOT told about this in advance and it
was unexpected. Oh and by the way, that it's pretty low down, borderline
sleazy.
So, the $15 balance was deleted... but now we know.
Apparently (as per the 'net), this has been going on for quite a long time.
Seems like Dad's doc just recently jumped on the bandwagon.
Still puzzled?... Read here (from 2014):
Why you get 2 bills for 1 visit to the doctor
Word to the wise... ASK YOUR DOC before you strip nude for your next
physical if he's going to also probe you for extra bucks. Ask for extra K-Y,
if needed. Hmmmm... that may result in an extra co-pay, so bring your
own.
